" @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social has created a work of speculative fiction that resonates deeply with the present moment. That’s the Grievers trilogy, the third volume of which—titled Ancestors—is due out soon; its plot blends a story of urban transformation with a heady amount of (literal) magic."

This episode, everything. On repeat. @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social And Autumn Brown #podcast #self #work #listen podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Sometimes when I’m struggling to give my attention to fruitful, community-building things, I refer to the Emergent Strategy principle that “what you pay attention to grows” and that helps me. Grateful everyday for @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social and the impact her work has made on me.

“The most important thing is he changes the way his teammates think about their own play,” Lebron James on Nikola Jokic. “When you’re able to inspire your teammates to play at a level that sometimes they don’t even feel like they can play at, that’s a true testament of a great one.”

In this episode, I talk to visionary thinker, organizer and artist @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social (author of EMERGENT STRATEGY, GRIEVERS & LOVING CORRECTIONS) about the role of the artist during times of chaos and creating beauty from pain and uncertainty. (Ep. 156) www.lifewritingpodcast.com

“It is not possible to step away from humanity to assert humanity. We always must step towards it.” @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social From Octavia’s Parables podcast, which has provided me with calmness and clarity in the past couple months, for which I am increasingly and immeasurably grateful.

A pack of 250 Avery mailing labels is $18. That's 7.2 cents per label and 250 little stickers you can write/print a message on and slap around town. (Don't be a jerk though.) Ideas: NO KINGS TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU DIVEST FROM TESLA DEIA MATTERS TRANS LIVES MATTER You get the idea.

“I’ll see you and raise you one.”

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

This whole quote from @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social’s #emergentstrategy is the energy I’m taking into this #PiscesNewMoon and our event on Thursday night. We need to dream new dreams together, weave new visions and stories with one another’s - and this New Moon equips us to do just that ✨⛅️🌈🎨

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Anticipatory malicious obediance

From @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social from her July 2024 appearance on On Being: "So mushrooms, I feel like they’re our great detoxer. They’re the ones who understand that nothing needs to be wasted; that everything can be used in some way..." onbeing.org/programs/adr...

"there’s enough destruction. there’s enough nothingness swallowing the living world. don’t add to it. there’s enough. our visions are ropes through the devastation. look further ahead, like our ancestors did, look further. extend, hold on, pull, evolve.” - @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social

Grover is quoting the inimitable @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social today!

“Forty-one U.S. senators could use the filibuster to block most legislation that enables the funding of Musk’s companies. With 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and two independents in the Senate, such a push is numerically possible, though politically difficult.“

This is my “daughter of a Black Panther breakfast program volunteer” coming out but anyone who tells you that you have to be public about all your resistance activity should immediately be under suspicion for being an op, or being under the influence of an op

Something I read today: “Loving Corrections” by adrienne maree brown. #booksky @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social “The good news is that we don’t need to be experts on every region to move with and towards humanity, connection, and solidarity.”

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

joined yesterday and encourage y’all to invest in this important work!!
